If you don't have emissions just get rid of the CAT all together.

I'm from the U.S. and I try to keep the air clean. I use a stock catalytic converter that I picked up at my mechanics store. I don't even bother with the "high-flo" cats because it's a measly difference of 1-2 horsepower. The stock cats flow good enough. If you gut the cat, it will screw crap up in the computer, and gain you ummm.....about 2 horsies. If your car is stock, I recommend keeping the cat. If it's clogged, just pay 100 bucks and get a new one. If you want to make your car faster...get gears and do some valvetrain work.

Its not the Gutted converters that bother me. Car pollution isnt the problem. I live 5 minutes from Clearwater beach. And go there almost every week. Its those FAT *** Canadians in there speedos I see at the beach! Now thats something Our country has a problem with. Good day from the usa!!!!

Emissions are bull$hit! If you have a reletively new engine and you take care of it the fuel is burning clean anyway. You don't need a CAT. Damn tree huggers.

you might gain 2-3 hp if you gut the cat, but your car will smell rich and gassy. I had my cat gutted for awhile, but the stink kept on giving me a headache.
